they should really hatch out frightful

But couldn't believe it possible that
my eggs would have so little respect
for their mother rs to do that.

Tho Thrift. Enterpriso and Progress OF
Once Savage Tribe.
The coast line OF British Columbia
extends for nearly six hundred miles
between Alaska on the north and
Washington Territory on the south.
At the northern point of this line is
Fort Simpson, an old post of the Hud-
son Bay Company. To this fort n
young Englishman went thirty years
ago, with the apparently chimerical
purpose of Christanizing the savage
tribes whose huts clustered about the
neighborhood. He learned their Ian
guage, took up his abode among them,
and rs the result of his teaching and
influence there sprang up near by a
new Indian village, which has BECOME
the most important settlement upon
the entire coast. The visitor of to-day
finds there streets of commodious and
wcll-built houses, % school house, town
hall and, dominating them all, n Gothic
church seating 1,200-all these the
result of the toll of the Tsimshean In
dians. The very name of this town,

England and Scotland as one of the
most conspicuous triumphs of Christian
missions. Its influence, moreover, has
effected ELL the tribes for hundreds
of miles up and down the coast.
The English missionary, remain
ing layman, became magistrate
for wide territory-governed wisely,
kept liquor away from the tribes and
fostered remuncrative industries among
them. A great reverse, however, has
fallen upon this community. The
province of British Columbia, in order
to secure the utmost advantage from
the sale of lands on the line of the pro-
posed Canadian Pacific railroad, has de-
, cided that the Indians have no rights in
the land. At one blow the results OF
the long years of self-sacrifice and toll
of the Metlakathla Indiana have been
doomed. Their title to houses. gardens,
church, town hall, industrial plant
| every thing-is undermined. Looking
over to the forest clad hills of Alaska,
which are in sight from their town, it
occurred to them that the United States
might afford them a justice which was
ruthlessly denied them in the land of
their forefathers. Their missionary
recently came on to Washington and,
having received authoritative assur-
ances that his Indians might have privi-
leges of settlement and ownership in
| Alaska identical to those granted to
| white men, he proposes that he and
! they shall become Americans. Their
village is to be dismantled. their homes
torn down, their titled gardens deserted,
and once more they are to begin, in IL
| virgin wilderness sixty miles away, at
Port Chester, the laborious task of a
new town. The natives of Alaska,
who are warmly disposed toward the
Tsimsheans, welcome their proposed
\ advent, and we may be thankful that

AN INGENIOUS MACHINE.
Description OF New and Powerful RivA
of the Composftor.

Description OF - New and Powerful Rival
of the Compositor.
The art of Typography is just now on
the eve of great and sudden rcvolu-
ton. On the 1st of July, 1886, u ma
chine was set UP in the Tribune compo-
sing room in this city, the employment
Of which its inventor claimed would not
only make type-setting unnecessary in
newspaper, book and job printing Of
fees, but enable printers and publishers
to substitute comparatively unskillcd
labor for that of the compositors now
employed. A large book has beon
printed by the Tribune Association by
the aid of the machine and consider
able and constantly increasing portion
Of the Tribune is produced by the same
means. Whitelaw Reid is president of
the company that owns the right to
build the machines. o. Mergenthaler,
of Baltimore. is the inventor.
The machine l refer to Is not the
mechanical typcsetter which has been
in operation in the Tribune Office six OF
seven years, and is also used to some
extent elsewhere. That employs types
similar to those used in ordinary hand
composition, which are arranged into
words and lines by an ingenious
mechanism, operated by means of keys
like those on Il typewriter. The new
machine doesn't use type Mt all, but
actually makes little stereotype bars,
each one just as long, as wide and
AS high as II line of type from which a
newspaper or book is printed, each
containing a line of words on its sur.
face, properly justified and ready in
every respect for the printing press.
These bars may be produced singly, or
any number of duplicates up to six may
be made by one operation.
To produce these results n rather
complicated machine has been invented
which it would be difficult to describe
without the use of technical terms and
diagrams. shall not, therefore, at
tempt it. In general terms the operator
manipulates it as he would a typewriter.
AS he strikes the keys series of COR
responding dies are brought into place.
and when enough have been arranged
to make u line of print they are auto
matically removed to metal pot, where
the molten metal is forced into them,
thus casting one of the bars already
described. The bars are cooled by a
blast of air, while the dies go back and
are distributed by the machine to theil
original places. Al this is accomplished
automatically without the operator
suspcnding his work, an assistant re.
ceiving the bars after they are conf
pleted and arranging them in columns.
After the printing has been completed
the bars are thrown back into the metal
pot and rcmeltea, so that the printing is
always done from new, fresh face.
In three or four months person can
become an expert operator upon u ma
chine. One operator and an assistant
can do as much work as six fast com.

RUINS OF CARTHAGE.
A Visit to - Spot Covered with the Du
of Three Empires.

"A covered
of Three Empires.
From the Bah kadra, gate of Tunis,
it is drive of about nine miles to the
site of Carthage, and it is a good day. $
work to see the ruins scattered over q
territory three or four miles square.
Above ground hardly one stone is
left upon another. Here and there ut
wide intervals explorers have dug
bitches and uncovered some pieces of
tesselated pavement, or the floor and
walls and marble basins of some bath.
Near the sea at the Byrsa, the ancient
citadel hill of the Punic town, and also
n mile or two inland at the Arab vii
lage Ell Malka, are vast cisterns or
subterranean reservoirs, series of
vaulted tanks of masonry which once
held the city's water supply. An
amphithcater. the outlines of which
may be traced with difficulty, theator
that is formless heap of half-buried
ruins, great masses of fallen masonry,
fragments of walls still in position,
hillocks of rubbish, and everywhere the
/ dust of three empires, and the debris
of three Carthages destroyed in success
sion-the whole is still puzzle to
archeologists and confusion to the
mind of the traveller who goes thither
prepared to eXpend sentiment over the
remains of Dido's own town.
The church of Rome holds positio
of advantage with reference to the
ruins of the city where SO many early
Christians suffered martyrdom. A range
of high hills stands between the sea and
the wide plain which stretches away to-
ward Tunis. The earliest Carthage was
on these hills. close to the port; the city
as it grew reached out upon the plain.
Among the most conspicuous objects
on the crest of the coast hills, either
from the interior or from the sea as You
approach Goletta, is the great white
palace occupied by Cardinal Lavigerie.
Near by is the vast cathedral which
this amhitious and energetic prelate is
carrying toward completion on historic
ground. The ancient citadel of Car
thage, as has been said, is crowned by
the Chapel of ST. Louis, erected by
Aouis Philippe in memory of his sainted
but unlucky ancestor, who died here of
the plague six hundred years ago, DUR
ing the eighth crusade, while retrcating
from before the walls of Tunis. Here,
too, is the College of st, Louis. In the
rich fowlants beneath the hills, on the
side away from the sea, are the palaces
and villas OF FL Marsa, the Bey's home,
and the houses of many of his high
Officers of state or army.
Still higher than the Roman Catholic
settlement, however, dominating it
from the side of the hill that is stopped
by the Cape Carthage lighthouse stand
the whitest of Moslem villages, the
holy town of Sidi Bon Said. 1t is one
of the most picturesque places in the
world. and is in other respects interest
ing. Curiously enough, many of the
Arabs believe that st. Louis died con-
vert to the Mohammedan faith, and
that his remains are buried at Sidi Bou
Said. The sacredness of the village,
from whatever cause it may be derived,
is confirmed by the residence there of
the Sheik el Islam of Tunis. Cor. Bos-
